BARCELONA (Reuters) - Midfielder Arturo Vidal's decision to sue Barcelona over a dispute about bonus payments will not affect his standing in the team, coach Ernesto Valverde said.
The Chilean’s lawyers have filed a complaint to Spain’s player’s union citing an unpaid bonus of 2.4 million euros .
"We all know Arturo here, he is the same as always and that's that, I don't see any problem. I don't think this will have any impact on the pitch and that's all I'm concerned with. He's training well at the moment." The complaint came a month after Vidal said he would look to leave the club if he did not get more playing time.
Barca hold a two-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the standings and face an Espanyol side who are bottom of La Liga but will be playing their first game under new coach Abelardo Fernandez.
